- The Honorable Judge David W. Soukup talks about how he originated the idea of court-appointed special advocates to help judges make more informed decisions about what is best for children in the dependency court system.
Thank you. I am going this evening to be a CASA volunteer. I get background checked today (which I passed less than 3 years ago taking foster care classes in a kinship case that thankfully didn't need removal). We ended up not being full time foster parents but I was an abused child and I didn't pull the trigger on reporting my father until I was 17 because I KNEW I wouldn't do well in the system as a medically fragile child with no real advocates. Had Casa been a thing or a thing I was aware of back then I very well may have got me and my sister out of there. Thankfully I survived and grew up. But if I can spare even one person one day of that it will all have been worth it. Thank you Sir for advocating for kids.
I'm a new CASA volunteer in Las Vegas! Can't wait to help out with this endeavor.
A new CASA/GAL volunteer waiting for my first case. I am so honored to be able to do this work. The training was intensive and amazing. I feel prepared and excited to be a CASA/GAL.
Thank you Judge David W. Soukup for being the founder of the CASA program. I have been serving as a CASA/GAL volunteer now for eleven years and began in 2012. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, advocating for children.
This is amazing! Thank you for all that you do ❤
Thank you, Sir.
Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️ I'm a proud CASA
Great introduction to CASA. Judge Soukup's idea has been a blessing to so many children and volunteers.
I've read about this case through training... Good man.
A proud GAL for the past 11 years!
An amazing and successful program. In some districts volunteer Guardians are being pushed aside by program attorneys which defeats the whole purpose.
Unfortunately, he's a judge and I very firmly believe they are the root cause for our problems with children, custody, and child support. They do not put the kids first.
